Sociologist Ashley Mears takes us behind the brightly lit runways and glossy advertisements of the fashion industry in this insider's study of the world of modeling. Mears, who worked as a model in New York and London, draws on observations as well as extensive interviews with male and female models, agents, clients, photographers, stylists, and others, to explore the economics and politics - and the arbitrariness - behind the business of glamour.

Excellent book; many mispronunciations
Revisado: 09-02-19
This book is great because it's an excellent, theoretically rich academic work (hence 5 stars overall and for story), but also a really fascinating take on the inner workings of the modeling industry. I presume it's an audiobook for the latter reason. The reader was well-equipped for certain tasks, such as clever use of multiple types of British accents when necessary. But the reader was bad at pronouncing some of the academic words. There were several distracting errors, but the worst was "Foucault" pronounced "FOW-CALT." I almost died.
